I read on the scripting forum that there is a change in links for getting MADIS data into Digital Atmosphere. I am quoting Wally Mayo from the scripting forum were they provided links for a certain part of the country:

Quote:

Here's the script for lower MI. If you need a wider area, just change the lat/long parameter in the file.

I know that these only grab portions of the MADIS data, but I recieved an e-mail today that the MADIS links are changing to these new servers. Digital Atmosphere might need an update to the current links in the program to reflect the new servers.

The new server is madis-data.nws.noaa.gov. So in the post above I guess the links would change to reflect the new server. I just tested them and they worked.

The NEW Link for getting the HUGE file for Digital Atmosphere is as follows:

Quick thoought without checking, but does the "E" drive actually exisit? Is that the correct path in the script to create the madis.txt file? Is there a "space" at the very end? DA DOES NOT like spaces.............

There are no spaces at the end and the E drive is my local, external hard drive. I have no problems dealing with this drive as ALL my other data runs just fine. Here's the complete download portion of my script...

Please let me know if it works for you. I currently tested it in the browser and DA seems to be ablr to download it without error, but I might be wrong.

Thanks,Christopher Zenzel

Looks like it might not be loading in Digital Atmosphere yet. Might have to grab the MADIS file with another program and then import it to DA. A program such as wget would work and import with a script. We will need to contact Tim about the SSL madis. The link does work in the browser, just need to do an external get when importing to DA.
